To all whom it may concern, I do certify that I have known the Defendant Lambert Dorland, from my infancy, that I per- fectly recollect his having enlisted in Captain Vansant's company, that he was taken prisoner, that I saw him immediately after his release from imprisonment, that he was in a very weak & emaciated condition, & generally I fully believe that the facts he has sworn to, are true —
